Theater of the Borderlands: Conflict, Violence, and Healing is an enlightening and encompassing study that focuses on how dramatists from the Northern Mexico border territories utilize theater as a means to present the US-Mexico Borderlands in a sociohistorical and political context. By dealing with both universal and timely themes, such as immigration reform, the indigenous, violence, Border crossings, and more, this invaluable interdisciplinary resource grants eye-opening insight to Border relations through several critical dramaturgical readings.

Iani Moreno is associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese at Suffolk University where she also directs university productions of contemporary Latin American plays.
